My husband has been suffering of weakness in whole body, edema in legs dizziness, low heart rate, tingling of hands & feet, palpitations since Oct 2022. He was prescribed with diuretics which relieved his edema. After a heart cath on both sides the drs diagnosed him with Right heart failure and stiffness on his Left Ventricle. All lab tests were within normal range. EKG’s showed extra beats. CT Scans & MRI’s showed nothing. Still with no answers to his symptoms we decided to come to Mayo Clinic where he was diagnosed with Cardiac Amyloidosis as the cause of all his symptoms. He had a genetic test which we are waiting for results. Has anyone being diagnosed with Cardiac Amyloidosis?
